Old Russian Shoemaker Songsheet 1. Shoemaker s Song Work, work, work, All the shoes to Make, make, make, Everything to Shine, shine, shine, Snip, snip, snip, Lots of things to Cut, cut, cut, Then we have to Tap, tap, tap, 2. Orphans Song When we are lonely, when we are sad, When life seems empty and no-one cares. We have a dream, we have a hope, Someone will show us they care. We once had a family, And once we were loved. Back... long ago, Now they re gone, And we re alone, There was kindness, Where now there is none, Someone please show us you care. Once we were healthy, And once we were warm. Friends... Mom and Dad, Toys and games, Now they are gone, There was laughter, Where now there is hurt, Someone please show us you care. Feet, feet, feet, All I ever Meet, meet, meet, Never smelling Sweet, sweet, sweet, Even in the morning. Stitch, stitch, stitch, Never getting Rich, rich, rich, Still I always Smile, smile, smile again 3. Shoemaker s Reprise 2 Work, work, work, All the shoes to Make, make, make, Everything to Shine, shine, shine, Snip, snip, snip, Lots of things to Cut, cut, cut, Then we have to Tap, tap, tap, (x2)

The Shoemaker s Reprise 2 Tick, tick, tick, Getting very Late, late, late, Will He ever Come, come, come? It is nearly morning. Tick, tick, tick, Getting very Late, late, late, Will He ever Come, come, come? It is nearly morning. 7. The Finale Let s celebrate, God gave His love What can I bring, That s worthy of, A new born king? This is the truth, Whatever deeds you did For the least of us, You did for God, Our Father, King of kings, Lord of Lords. You came to us, You met our need, Let s celebrate, We re not alone, You showed You care. God gave His love, You gave us food, What can I bring, You gave us drink, That s worthy of, You gave us warmth, A new born king? (x1) Pause for music to play Verse again (x2) 3
